UNSPSC 85724639: Replacement of lumbar vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lumbar vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0SR207Z

UNSPSC 85724639 Replacement of lumbar vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve lumbar disc replacement procedures or autologous tissue substitutes. The code appears to be a procedural taxonomy entry from clinical classification systems (likely CPT or similar medical coding) that state and local procurement systems have repurposed or misapplied. The actual buying activity under this code spans administrative health services, benefits program management, occupational medicine, and temporary clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures or tissue-substitute procurement.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county governments (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity is spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal procedure-specific scope and the health-services procurement activity actually tagged to it suggests caution in relying on this classification to filter opportunities in real procurement searches.
